The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 589
He stood there, tongue-tied and silent for an awkwardly long time.
Karen burst into laughter. "Got cold feet, huh? Leave me alone from now on, okay?"
She shrugged off Jeffrey's grasp and strutted out.
Only a few steps out, she bumped into Dorothy and Everett walking straight towards her.
The moment Dorothy laid eyes on Karen, she pieced together most of the story. She turned slightly to Everett and said, "I need to have a word with Karen. Take the kids inside, will you?"
Everett nodded in understanding. "Alright."
As Karen approached, Dorothy reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Leaving already?"
"Yeah, I just can't bear to sit with Jeffrey any longer." Karen's eyes felt dry, but there were no tears—nor the inclination to shed them.
Jeffrey wasn't worth it.
"I'll drive you home," Dorothy offered, seeing Karen's reluctance to elaborate and choosing not to pry. "Your parents' place or Kenneth's?"
"I'll catch a cab. Don't trouble yourself, especially after a flight. You must be exhausted." Karen patted Dorothy's shoulder with a smile. " I'm fine. I just genuinely can't stand Jeffrey. Don't worry about it."
"Is there something between you two?"
"Nothing but a couple of flings—hardly sweet memories. Consider it like sampling some fancy fruit!" Karen laughed, her carefree demeanor almost making Dorothy feel herself overly concerned.
"Okay, then. If anything comes up, or if Jeffrey bugs you again, give me a call."
Karen shrugged nonchalantly. "I doubt he will."
Judging by Jeffrey's surprised and confused reaction earlier, he probably thought she was getting too big for her boots.

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
